Sunday Post February 28, 2016/It's Monday! What are You Reading? Plus Mailbox Monday February 29, 2016

It's Monday! What Are You Reading now at The Book Date.
Thank you to Sheila for the years that she handled this meme.Thank you to Kathryn for taking up the baton.

What Are You Reading, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.

This week was another busy week with my 2nd staff member not returning until Thursday. We always are busy with end of month closings too.Our son, d-i-l and granddaughter are visiting in between bases. He will be here a week and d-i-l and Sweet Pea will be here a little over two weeks until they fly out to visit her family. I was going to do another review today but decided to spend family time instead. I have already read six books with Sweet Pea. :-)

Reading was good but seemed slow with only two books finished; one ebook and one audio. I posted two reviews and my other usual posts.

I enjoyed visiting other blogs early and mid week.
Thanks as always to all the nice people who visit me.

Reunion in Death: In Death, Book 14Written by: J. D. RobbNarrated by: Susan EricksenThis is another grand crime thriller for Eve, Roarke and Peabody. I will post my review this week.Click on book title for full description.

2. eBook/Kindle (NG)

The God's Eye Viewby Barry EislerThis is scary, raw at times and timely considering current events.I will post my review this week. Click on book title for full description.

Dear Emmaby Katie HeaneyThe story starts in letter form. I had meant to review this before the release date,3/1, but it snuck upon meI hope to get the review up later this week.I received this from Grand Central/Hachette through NetGalley.
Harriet, the author of her college newspaper's pseudonymous student advice column "Dear Emma," is great at telling others what to do, dispensing wisdom for the lovelorn and lonely on her Midwestern campus. Somehow, though, she can't take her own advice, especially after Keith, the guy she's dating, blows her off completely. When Harriet discovers that Keith has started seeing the beautiful and intimidating Remy, she wants to hate her. But she can't help warming to Remy, who soon writes to "Dear Emma" asking for romantic advice.

Now Harriet has the perfect opportunity to take revenge on the person who broke her heart. But as she begins to doubt her own motivations and presumably faultless guidance, she's forced to question how much she really knows about love, friendship and well-meaning advice.

3. eBook/Kindle + Print

Talon: Combat Tracking Team (A Breed Apart Book 2)by Ronie KendigI picked this title up at a good price last November for our Ladies Book Club. I purchased the Kindle version to read more quickly. We will meet to discuss the book Saturday March 5, 2016.
Aspen Courtland is out to find her missing brother. Only his combat tracking dog, Talon, knows where to look.

Welcome to Mailbox Monday.

Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week and explore great book blogs. This Meme started with Marcia at A Girl and Her Books (fka The Printed Page) and after a tour of hosts has returned to its permanent home at Mailbox Monday. Thanks to the ladies sharing hosting duties: Leslie of Under My Apple Tree, Serena of Savvy Verse & Wit and Vicki of I'd Rather Be at the Beach.Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.

I received two review titles this week and have listed my LBC book that wasn't listed before.
TBR Triple Dog Dare update: After 53 days I broke down and bought a book at Amazon. I still have February Audible credits to use soon. :-).
I did add more free kindle titles to my library.

Are your mailbox and TBR piles blooming?

Review Titles

I am listing this book as I don't see that I listed it when I bought it last year or when I passed it out the first week of February.

Talon: Combat Tracking Team (A Breed Apart Book 2)by Ronie Kendig
I picked this title up at a good price last November for our Ladies Book Club.
I purchased the Kindle version to read more quickly. We will meet to discuss the book Saturday March 5, 2016.

I received this title from Great Escape Book Tours for review on March 13.

by Joyce Lavene and Jim Lavene
This sounded like a good historical mystery with a female Pinkerton agent.

I received this title from Hachette for Review and Giveaway 4/2:

Nobody But You (Cedar Ridge)by Jill Shalvis
Small town contemporary;
I enjoy this author and haven't read her for a while.

Won

NONE

Purchased

I have to admit that I broke down and bought a Kindle title this week because it was available for $0.99
I have been eyeing it for Audible and this saves my credit for another book. If I still want it on Audible it would only be $1.99.
